What should I call my foundation?

I'm starting a foundation, I want to help animals; (all types of animals whether its helping homeless or abused dogs, stray or ill cats, or cows, chickens, pigs, etc) I want to hold fundraisers and give out fliers and raise money and save animals. I am starting a website and I don't know what to call my foundation--any help please?!?

I think that is wonderful, but gonna be hard work. You are making a difference by not eating meat. Are you a member of PETA, they have made incredible differences over the years, one recently has been the stopping of Bull Fighting in Barcelona.

No. I used to like PETA. I think they have done some great things to help animals but I heard a while back about how they take animals from shelters, animal clinics, etc and kill them and then throw them away, and I don't support that at all. So I don't support PETA anymore. I do like the Humane Society though.

I don't think there is a media vendetta against them, but PETA make extreme statements to get attention and get their point across - so when you agressively or use dramatic measures to publicise yourself, and your political agendas, well, you gotta take the good with the bad.

They may be the pattern you are seeking to follow. I no longer support PETA, but do not denigrate what they have accomplished. Not even foundations are uncorruptible. they are run by humans, not animals.

I was actually a little bit angry after I first heard about them killing animals they find from shelters. I still don't agree and support that but I have realized I do still appreciate what they are doing and what they have done. I just wish they would focus more on getting animals spayed and neutered rather than killing them. I also wish they would focus on the fur trade in China!!! :( :(

What an amazing idea. My dream some day is to run a no kill shelter. There are not any in our area and I would like to start one to help the SPCA.

As for a name...think of something from your heart. A dedication to an animal or a loved one you have lost. If it's something that means a lot to you then the name should support that.

As for Peta, I use to donate and contribute monthly but after things I heard and read. Including video evidence I do not support them any longer. I still check their website and read the magazines. THey do have a lot of knowledge. But I dont' think they believe in what they say anymore.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart.
